All Dogs Unleashed Counts 10 NFL Players and DFW Celebrities Among Carrollton Training Clients

Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware, Ezekiel Elliott, and Fast N' Loud star Richard Rawlings are among the Wall of Fame clients at the Carrollton training center

CARROLLTON, TX, UNITED STATES, April 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Wall of Fame inside All Dogs Unleashed at 2401 Luna Road in Carrollton features photographs of more than ten professional athletes and public figures who have trusted the facility with their dogs. The roster includes Pro Football Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware, former Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, three-time Super Bowl champion and Cowboys safety Darren Woodson, and Fast N' Loud star and Gas Monkey Garage founder Richard Rawlings. Additional NFL clients include defensive end Jay Ratliff, linebacker Marcus Spears, tight end Martellus Bennett, cornerback Terrence Newman, linebacker Victor Butler, and former Las Vegas Raiders interim head coach Rich Bisaccia.

The connection between professional athletes and structured dog training runs deeper than celebrity endorsement. NFL players and coaches maintain schedules that remove them from their homes for training camp, road games, media obligations, and offseason commitments. Their households frequently include young children, visiting family members, and staff. A dog that jumps on a guest, pulls a 260-pound athlete down the sidewalk, or exhibits territorial aggression in a home that regularly hosts gatherings creates liability that extends beyond inconvenience. The 43% of Texas households that own dogs face similar challenges at smaller scale: dual-income schedules, travel, and social obligations that demand a dog capable of behaving without constant owner supervision.

The training methodology at All Dogs Unleashed in Carrollton, TX directly addresses that reality. Co-founders Brian Claeys and Travis Lux developed their approach after studying under world champion sport-dog trainers across the United States and Finland, adapting techniques from PSA K9 protection sport and IPO competition for household application. The resulting system teaches dogs self-correction behaviors; the animal learns to regulate its own conduct rather than waiting for an owner to issue a command. That distinction matters in a household where the primary handler travels regularly, and multiple people interact with the dog in different contexts.

"Athletes' homes operate at a different tempo than most households. People are coming and going constantly, children with friends over, events, travel, the dog has to function reliably regardless of who is home or what is happening around them," said Brian Claeys, Co-Founder of All Dogs Unleashed. "That is exactly what self-correction training produces. The dog makes the right choice because the behavior is internalized, not because someone is standing there telling it what to do."

The two-week board and train program at the Carrollton headquarters covers seven core commands and addresses 12 to 15 specific behaviors, including leash pulling, jumping, door bolting, nuisance barking, and boundary violations. Dogs train in real-world conditions with active distractions rather than controlled environments, so behavioral changes transfer directly to the home. The program includes free pickup and delivery within the Dallas-Fort Worth service area, a hands-on transfer session where trainers teach the owner's entire household how to maintain the training, and unlimited lifetime follow-up sessions at no additional cost.

The headquarters facility, built on 2.6 acres purchased in 2015 and completed in January 2017, operates with a 38-person staff, including specialized trainers, kennel technicians, and grooming professionals. The Carrollton location serves as the operational hub for All Dogs Unleashed's 20-location franchise network across 14 states. Lux, who continues to train dogs at the facility alongside staff, took first place in a Protection Sports Association national competition hosted at the Carrollton headquarters, a result that underscores the caliber of expertise available to every client, whether they play in the NFL or live in a Carrollton subdivision.
